She called homosexuality 'an abomination'

Exactly what the Bible calls it, what the Church calls it, and what most people called up until about 30 years ago.

Many of us continue to call it just that, although nowadays when we do so we tend to be arrested for a "hate speech" offense or beaten bloody in the village square by bands of homosexuals and various and sundry mental defectives, who are then heralded as 'oppressed minorities standing up for themselves' in the Press..

the phrase "hate crime" is used with such casualness, as if it was as normal as breathing?

It is indeed frightening, but it is a future that we can also look forward to if we allow our nation to drift much further to the Left.

An Obama Presidency (bite my tongue!) that is ushered in by a groundswell of hysterical self-loathing, white guilt and anti-racist chest-beating could easily drive things to the point of Free Speech becoming little more than a quaint anachronism of a bygone era.

It's already standard practice in academia, where one should never expect a good grade in a course if you dare to submit a paper that embraces Conservative values or challenges Leftist dogma.

They've come to understand that hysterical whining = Press coverage = Political Power. 

Sadly, they have no incentive to stop.  :-(

Northern Ireland's first lady is being investigated by police following allegations she committed a hate crime by launching a withering attack on homosexuality.

I want to laugh but its too damn insane and scary.
 

And it will quite likely be coming to your neighborhood here in the USA under an Obama Presidency (bite my tongue and soak it in vinegar!)

Obviously they hope to accomplish in the court of public opinion what they couldn’t in a just court.

Indeed....and they won't rest until the Gay Mafia succeeds in crucifying this Lady on the Altar of Diversity and Tolerance.  Destroying her career will only be the start....they will most likely argue in court that a Hate Speech Criminal such as Mrs. Robinson shouldn't be allowed to retain custody of her children, as they would be subjected to "hate speech" at home and that would be 'child abuse'.

Yawn. That comment belies your ignorance of the role of the senior royals, in particular Her Majesty the Queen fulfill to earn their keep (which is considerably less than the revenue which the Crown Estates turn over to the government btw). The Queen is in her 80s now and she still works performing official duties, going on state visits, reading and signing legislation, advising her ministers etc etc whilst other people her age have long since retired.
I know you are a republican by inclination, but if you’re going to slag off the monarchy, the least you could do is make a constructive argument against it instead of throwing out clueless soundbites typical of you’re average rabble-rousing left-wing imbecile....

Sinn Féin's Education Minister Catríona Ruane

...demonstrated once again that Sinn Féin is a communist party, not a Catholic organization.

You can dress up a Marxist in a nice suit and give him a fancy title but that hammer and sickle will be poking through the clothing in short order, every time.

You'd think someone who had the urge to do such vile things would want to seek out treatment.

More proof that it is indeed a mental disorder, despite the politically-correct posturing of the American Psychiatric Association.

That said, I don’t believe she should be criminalised just for expressing an opinion on homosexuality, it should depend on the context, and in this context it is absurd that she is being investigated...

I have to nitpick and say that the "context" to be criminal should be only in the realm of crying "Fire" in a theater or inciting a riot.

The choice we’ll soon face here in America as well, as early as next year if Obama is elected:

The homosexual agenda, or individual freedom of speech and of religion.

You can’t have both.

That is more or less what I am talking about in criminal terms. Although I would extend it beyond merely starting a riot, and suggest that people like Mohammad Hamza who go around preaching that the infidel kuffar is evil and subhuman and uses speech to brainwash people into acts of violence, should be prevented from doing so. And whines about ‘freedom of speech!’ fall on deaf ears with me when it comes to things like that.
In civil terms regarding libel and slander, I believe the burden of proof should lie upon the accuser, not on the accused, to prove what he says is not bulls**t, which is the difference between libel law in the US and the UK, where in the US, a person slandered will often have to try and prove a negative in order to win a libel case, whilst the newspaper or magazine can print more or less whatever it wants and ruin somebody else’s life under the protection of the First Amendment......
